Voodoo

I'm no mechanic and its been years since I had a bike with a drum brake but from what I can remember you need to do as follows:- You've probably adjusted it already by using the nut that the blue arrow is pointing too. You could try moving the arm around the spline (sorry I have no idea what they are called). Its the bit that the red arrow is pointing too. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee259/Voodoo1972/drum.jpg Hope this helps!

This is what they mean http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee259/Voodoo1972/Caliperbolts.jpg

Sorry, haven't been on for ages, this might help if you need a manual:- http://www.bethman.net/r1forum/manuals.html

That does not sound good!

I've got one of those Optimate III chargers thats surposed to check your battery, and if it needs it trickle charge it. Anyway years ago my battery knackered so I bought a new one and left it plugged in to the Optimate for about 12months. I only used the bike about 5-10 times that particular year. By the end of the year the battery was completely goosed. Since then I haven't bothered with any charger and my bike battery is now about 5-6 years old and works perfectly. Next time I have a dead battery I'm just gonna buy a new one instead of messin about trying to charge it, personally I don't think these fancy chargers are as good as they say.

If its a later model, I'd have thought there would probably be differences.

Mine kicks in when it reads 105 but normal is about 72-74

A definate 10 if you've never done it before

Do you guy's not feel the cold?

That was obviously before you got your hammer then!

Bet none of ya can beat this though, I crashed my bike into my car and messed them both up at the same time. Maybe I should have put a claim in!

Wow, a moose makes a right mess of your car

I've hit quite a few rabbits, hedgehogs, birds and even a sheep once. Basically I hit virtually everything I aim for!

Don't listen to Drew, his hammer's not big enough, try this one http://www.hammermuseum.org/images/big_hammer.jpg[/url]

Stu's idea is best if you've got the tools, another alternative would be to file a couple of flat surface's on the nut and find a spanner that'll fit. Personally if was me though, I'd do as Drewster does, let someone else have the hassle, especially if you need a new tyre anyway.

That's because its got a big elastic band

Or that nobody does it for you

only if sabine is driving It will be Sabine driving!

Phil, if you fancy a go round the track in the Taxi, then you might need to book that months in advance.

Count me in

Thanks for coming Chicane, it was nice to meet you. Look forward to going on some spins out next year with ya!

Sounds like a top plan to me!

I'll be up for it!
